Say their names, see their Faces, and say it with us - JUSTICE FOR THE NEGROS 19! 🕯️ This last Sunday, there was a vigil that gathered in Eagle Rock to mourn the victims of this terrible massacre , share personal stories of the victims and educate the public about the systemic injustices that led to this violence. These victims that also included Filipino Americans like us were just there to fight for improved living conditions for the impoverished community of that region. They shouldn’t have been painted as combatants by state fascists and most of all, shouldn’t have lost their lives. The cost for peace should never be violence! Ironically yesterday 4/27 marked the annual observance of Lapu-Lapu day, and we commemorate these lives lost that have now also been added to a long history of resistance in the face of oppression!
